@a ictZLwz/om'it may concern: ,"'Be it known that 1, BnNzIoN Kanrloi., a ,citiien ofthe United States of America, and a ,resident of the borough of Brookl county r0f Kings, city and State of New 1girls, have invent `certain new and useful Improve- ,ments in Machinery for Cutting or Dividing apenf which the following is a specifica- X-"w" v yMy pesent invention relates to im rove- 'nents'in perforatin or dividing mafiln'nes, and has particular re erence to machines used in t emanufacturc of lace-pa er although notl confined to any such spec' 1c class of ma- 115 chlne. p

vThe-object of m present invention is twofold `inits genera character, and is, in the `first place, to increase the utilityand efficiency Tofyalsingle machine or paper-perforating eleo ment b so designing the same asto permit of `asirnp e and ready adjustment and inter- .cliangeability of the'y parts thereof whereby ya' ing widths of paper may be impressed wit y any desired design or demarcation; "32,5 i In `addition to increasing the utility of the amg machine or cuttin element my invention has for a second object to, so design the single machine that groups of the same may' be mounted collectively and driven or other- 3'0 `wise operated from single driving and operatmg means, and to provide such a collective mounting and operation of the same. he type of machine heretofore in use in the art hasin general been of bulky and com- 35 plicated structure, wherebysubstitution of newdies and parts for old and worn ones or .the mterchanging of dies of one size or type for those of another have not been readily ac- "com lished, as in the present invention. 4% rt ermore, the structure of machine heretoforc in use has been such as to make it inble or impracticable to operate a number of cutting or 1m ressin elements collectively or m groups, w ile stil rovidin for ready filing of tige elements thereof.

,i j: The-objects of my invention I attain in the v Structure now to be described, reference behad to accompanying drawings, in w chi Fi re l is a view in elevation, partly sectlo: showing one of my machines in its entirety and. another in part and showing my manner of mounting and operatinlg the two.

55 Fig. 2 1s a view in end elevation ta n on the `shown is embossed line 2 2 of Figi 1 and looking in theldire'etion -of the arrow Referring to the drawings, a single maaper-cuttin element is shown at A chine or hese two are mounted 6o and anot er at B. on a single standardor frame-piece 1, through which extends a power-shaft 2, common to both and driven from the belt 3 by means of a pulley 4, a pinion 5 on the shaft with pulley 4 and a gear 7 on the power-shaft 2. 65

On the shaft 2, as shown in Fig. l to the left of A and to the left of B, are clutches 8 of any suitable type. Sleeves 9 form part of a member of the clutch loosely mounted upon the shaf t 2 and in turn carry the pinions 10, which mesh with gears 1l on counter-shafts 12. Normally the clutch members 9 ride idly upon the shaft 2, but upon sliding the clutc 1 member 13, as by operating any suitable lcver 14, the clutch members engage and ro- 7 5 tate together with shaft 2, whereby gears 10 and 11 are rotated and shafts 12 rotate with shaft 2.

Shaft 12 I use here as the driving-shaft of a steel die 15, between which and an opposing die or roller 16 the paper in the machine and indented. In this machine the paper is operated upon as described in my co ending application, Serial No. 324,834, lilediiily 5, 1906. The paperis ed from a supply over idlers 16, 17, and 18, and thence down between the die and .a roller 19, which latter maintains the paper in close contact with the die 15. In this machine the paper is not actually cut by the roller or die l5, but is merely indented thereby and passes therefrom over a revolving abrading-roller 20. The indentations made in the paper by the die 1.5 are removed from the surface of the paper by the roll 20 and 95 perforations thereby made to a ear in lieu thereof. The paper is shown helljcl) in contact with the cutting or dividing roller 20 by means of a resilient stri or sprin 21, carried on-the supports 22 an 23, whic latter are preferably adjustable to vary the pressure of the paper on the roller. From the cuttingroller 2O the paper is drawn to a take-up roll 24.

The elements just described are found in both machines A. and B. The take-up rolls 24 of the machines are mounted on individual shafts 25, driven from a single drive-shaft 26 by means of pulley 27 on shaft 26 and pulley 28 on shaft 25, pulleys 27 and 28 being arn:

IOO

ranged to have frictional engagement with each other when the rolls 24 are inoperation. Abrading-roll 2() is driven from shaft 26 by pulley 27, belt 29, and pulley 30.

The die l5 and the rolls ]6 and 19 are earried on shafts having bearings at either end in standards 31 and 32. In order that the rolls 15 and 16 may be interchanged for the purpose of impressing the paper with a variety of designs or for the purpose of impressing varying widths of paper, one or oth of the standards 31 and 32 are adjustably mounted to be moved on the main standard or frame 1 into and out of engageing position with the roll-shafts.

Referring to Fig. 2, there is shown in crossseetion on either side of the frame 1 an angleiron 33, secured to the frame and serving as a guide and support for-the standards 31 and 32. Connected to the standards 31 and 32, as by bolts 34, are bearing or lookin r plates 35. These plates, it will be observe lit under the upper extension 36 of the angle-irons 33. When the bolts 34, and consequently the plates 35, are loose, the standards 3] and 32 may be moved along the Frame; but when the bolts 34 are tightened the plates 35 are brought into unyielding engagement with the extensions 36 of the irons 33, whereby the standards are held rigidly in lace.

The rolls 16 and 19, betweenw iieh and the roll 1.5 the paper passes, are adjustably mounted in slots 38 in the standards 3l and 32. By means of adjusting-screws 3f), engaging the bearing-blocks 4() in the slots 38, the pressure of the rolls 16 and 19 on the roll 15 may be regulated at will. Thus in the present structure the roll-bearing adjustments are all directly mounted ilrthe standards 31 and 32 and are carried thereby when the latter are moved on the ways 33. Before moving the bearing-standards the rollbearings 16 and 19 may be loosened by turning the screws 39. Byhaving the adjustments 39 carried on the standards 31 and 32 I avoid the usual more elaborate arrangement for adjusting the rolls, and besides con.- siderably simplifying the operation of the device I make ractieable the accomplishment of the various objects of this invention.

The operation of my invention is as follows: Provided certain only of the individual maehines or paper-cutting elements are intended to be used, only such of the clutches as control the machines to be used are thrown to bring the proper machines into connection with the power-shaft 2. The power is then transmitted to the driving-shaft of the paper-impressin die l5 from belt 3 through the pullle 4, sha 6, pinion 5, gear 7, shaft 2, clute elements 13 and 9, and gears l() and 11. The revolution of the die-roll. 15 causes the rolls r16 and 19 to revolve and the pa er to be drawn thereto from its supply. T e paper is then drawn from the impression-dies over the abrading-roller 20, whereby the indentations received at the die are eut otf and the paper perforated. The abrading-roller, as stated, is rotated from the shaft 26 Aby ulley 27, mounted thereon, belt 29, and )ullley 3() on shaft with the abradin roll. arom the abrading-roll the )aper is (liawn to the takeup roll. This rolll is mounted upon a shaft 25, which carries at one end thereof a frietioual driving-pulley 28. The shaft 25 is journaled in a frame 37, pivoted to bring the pulleys 27 and 28 into and out of engagement when that particular cutting element is to be operated, and the pulley 28 bearing against t le pulley 27 receives by frietional engagement therewith the power to rotate the takeup roll.

When it is desired to substitute new dies and'rolls or to assemble or dismantle the machine, the screws 3i) are loosened and the holt 34 is unserewed to loosen the standard 32, whereupon the latter, together with its bearing-plate 35, is slid along the frame 1 to a position such as shown in the dotted lines in Fig. l. The shafts of the dies and rolls may then be readily withdrawn from their bearing in the standard 31 and lifted out between the standards 31 and 32. New dies and rolls may then be substituted by inserting their bearing-shafts in standard 31 and then moving in and looking the standard 32.l The screws 39 are then turned until the roper pressure at the rolls is attained and t 1e device is ready for operation.
